Saves & bookings on Pearl
Duck with mole and lobster
Duck with mole and lobster anchor a Contemporary Mexican Fine Dining kitchen with a Mexican Pacific focus. Carolina suits a dinner planned around Mexican Pacific cooking, not a casual snack.
Carretera Federal 200 Km 19.5 waterfront terrace
Carretera Federal 200 Km 19.5 locates the restaurant in Corral del Risco, with a waterfront terrace at the St. Regis. Quiet pacing and formal service suit a longer conversation-led dinner.
Extensive wine list with regional sourcing
The wine list is extensive, and the kitchen sources locally; La Liste scored the restaurant 83.5pts in 2025, with Forbes 4-Star recognition in 2025 and 2026. That recognition fits a formal hotel-restaurant plan.
